Upcoming NABC events: Harvest Homecoming and Lupulin Land.

New Albany’s 40th Harvest Homecoming Festival will be held in October of 2007, beginning with a parade on October 6, and traditional food and activity booths filling the city’s reviving downtown streets from the 11th through the 14th.

For the second year, the New Albanian Brewing Company is delighted to have its most popular beers within ready access of the thousands of visitors who’ll be visiting Harvest Homecoming. NABC now has three downtown accounts: Bistro New Albany, Connor’s Place and the Speakeasy.

Both the Bistro and Connor’s have beautiful patios at which to enjoy Elector, Community Dark, Croupier and other NABC favorites during crisp (we hope) autumnal weather. The Speakeasy is New Albany’s first jazz-themed restaurant and bar. All three establishments are housed in restored historic buildings.

To promote our three downtown partners, NABC personnel will be on hand for special tappings throughout Harvest Homecoming. Look for details in the coming weeks.

On October 19, Lupulin Land Harvest Hop Festival kicks off at NABC, Rich O’s Public House and Sportstime Pizza. Lupulin Land is an annual homage to the magic cone, featuring 15-20 hoppy ales and lagers from around the world, all on draft, including NABC’s own Hoptimus, winner of numerous accolades during the recently concluded summer festival season. Lupulin Land continues until the last bitter drop is consumed.
